Really enjoyed my experience here with my family. Great food as per usual and props to my waiter Max. He was very quick and nice. Overall I would totally recommend and if you want a quick and easy experience ask for Max.

The food was really good and felt special. Our server Max was amazing—very polite, kind, friendly, and attentive the whole time. He made sure everything was perfect and made the experience even better. Definitely a five-star visit.

The older male server with a full beard provided very poor customer service. He was rude and unengaging, so we left after being seated for about two minutes.

12-24-25 Awesome! My son and I got the 2 for 25. We upgraded to grilled chicken with shrimp and steak so it was 2 for 35. Plus sodas and tip it was 51 or so. Everything was great. The steak was cooked to order. I subbed green beans for the broccoli. They were cooked but not mushy or hard! The piece of steak was great. Not fatty. And the loaded mashed were good too. My son said the same for his dish. The mushrooms and onions were cooked but not slimy, mushy nor hard. The chicken, shrimp and loaded mashed were excellent. And our waiter was great too. A very nice dining out experience. Next we want to try their lunch specials!!!

My boy Max is the best waiter there is. Every time I come into Applebee's I just know my stay is going to be excellent. He perfectly blends customer service seamlessly with his charisma to make me feel seen. All jokes aside, he truly is a great worker and works his behind off every shift. Thank you for existing Max..

Listen, I’m a big Chilis guy. But my wife likes Applebees. So when we go out we go to Applebees. We usually go to the Hackensack location but we were in the Paramus area. Usually I don’t enjoy my time at Applebees but this particular time we were waited on by a young man named, Max. Great attitude, great smile and great service. I actually enjoyed a meal at Applebees for once in my life which is never something I thought I’d say. Me and my wife have a deal now that we don’t go to the Hackensack location anymore and only to Paramus for the mere fact that the service is superior. When we go back we will ask for Max :) Thank you Max for the laughs and the great energy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a solid experience at Applebee’s from start to finish. The food was cooked right, came out hot, and hit the spot. The place had a good, laid-back vibe that made it easy to sit back and enjoy the meal without being rushed.

Big shoutout to our waiter, Max. He was on point the whole time—professional, quick, and straight to the point. Drinks were always filled, food came out exactly as ordered, and he checked in without overdoing it. You can tell he takes his job seriously and knows how to handle a table the right way.

Overall, this was a dependable, no-nonsense dining experience. Good food, good service, and no complaints. I’d definitely come back, especially if Max is working.

Had an amazing experience at Applebee’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. Everything from the drinks to the entrées was spot on. Our server, Max, truly made the night exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. Max checked in at all the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a 5-star experience across the board. Great food, great service, and a great time. We’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend asking for Max to take exceptional care of you while dining at this establishment.
